Hi, I've recently come across a font designed to help reduce the complications related to dyslexia called OpenDyslexic. I don't find this font particularly appealing from a visual design perspec...
The answer depends on which Articulate product we are talking about.
If we are discussing Rise, then such a solution would likely need to be implemented on the developers' side. We can download the SCORM package of the course created in Rise and edit it using JavaScript (adding a button to the player that changes the font throughout the course, plus we will need to include your font in the SCORM package). However, this is not the most convenient method. In Rise, this functionality is easy to implement since it uses responsive design.
If we are talking about Storyline, creating such a "magic button" is not possible because it uses fixed layout. If we change the font, the entire design will break (letters in all fonts will be different sizes, meaning text blocks will not look as we originally intended). In Storyline, ideally, we would need to add a "replace font" button to each slide, or somewhere in a custom menu, and create duplicates of each slide/layer (or additional layers on slides) with a different font. This will not exactly double our work in assembling the course, but it will significantly increase the time and effort required.
